First animated feature film (following the early 1970s TV series and a live-action movie of 1974) about gentleman thief Lupin the Third, who along with his sidekick Jigen and samurai Goemon find out the mystery behind a madman, who has cloned himself and others, intending to rule the world. Plot is vague and uneven at first, later it becomes an entertaining, exciting action adventure with science-fiction touches. Highly recommended to fans.
